Preparation

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water 10 minutes. Add asparagus; boil until crisp-tender and pasta is tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes longer. Drain pasta and asparagus in colander.

Meanwhile, heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham and cook until just brown, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add wine; boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream; bring to simmer. Stir in cheese and 3/4 cup green onions. Add pasta and asparagus and toss with sauce to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup onions and serve.

Not a lot of flavor here. Used top quality ham and didn't skimp on the cream. Much prefer a classic alfredo sauce if I'm going to splurge on the calories.

This was great! Sauted about a cup
of chopped onions with 3 cloves of
garlic (we LOVE garlic!) until soft,
sprinkled with flour for thickening,
added the wine, then half & half.
Simmered then added chopped spinach
& sliced deli ham, mixed in pasta
and the cheese. Quick easy & will be
a regular at our house.

Loved it! When browning ham, added
some freshly minced garlic with a
little butter. Used roselli pasta
since I didn't have farfalle. My
husband likes a cremier dish so next
time I make this, I'll 1-1/2 times the
the ingrediants that makes the sauce.

I have to disagree with most of the
other reviews of this recipe. I
thought this dish was very bland.
It wasn't bad, just needs some more
flavor(garlic for sure!). I don't
think I would make this again as
written but it has potential.
Frankly, I can think of better
recipes for the $8 block of asiago
and the 2 pounds of asparagus.

I make this all the time since the recipe first came out. Very simple and delicious. I like to add fresh garlic but not necessary. One of my favorite recipes for week night dinner or company. Simple and delicious!
